Signs of fall: Halloween, Thanksgiving and professional football


As summer fades into the past, Ohioans will have a new reason to complain—cold weather. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Ohioans can expect a cold winter. Thankfully, before it gets too cold, we can enjoy Thanksgiving and Halloween.

And when fall arrives, it indicates the latest season of professional football. It also means another Bengals team will call Paul Brown Stadium home. Strangely, the Bengals play like tigers during the regular season, but then become paper tigers in the playoffs. 

The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game in years. From 2005 to 2015, the Bengals earned playoff berths on seven occasions. Unfortunately, like an old television rerun, each appearance finished with the same ending—a first round loss.
